Government joining us in the conversation

Congress should join us where we the people are talking, sharing and networking – online. As Congress reconsiders the restrictions placed on their Internet use, you can tell Congress to embrace the communication technologies that we already use.

This applies to a whole bunch of government entities beyond Congress: all elected officials, educators, municipal workers, council members, commissioners, task forces members, librarians... All these good folks should be going to where the people are congregating. It's arrogant to think the people should come to them.
